October Snow

While not the first snowfall of the season, Saturday’s snow was the first with significant accumulation – over six inches. This presented a few chanllenges, as we are never quite ready for the extra organization required to haul and feed hay. We were so much luckier than our neighbors to the northeast… some inconvenience, but really… just a lovely October snowfall.

Despite the Weather

We worked furiously through an afternoon and evening that saw rain, sleet, hail, thunder, lightning, wind and even rainbows but finally got all the lambs tucked snugly in the barn just as it got dark.  The barn is cleaned and reorganized, ready for the shearers to arrive this morning.  Hopefully the lambs will be dry.  Dress warmly… shearing helpers… it is cold and windy out there this morning.
